Good Morning Christian Peeps! Let s face it, we are usually either getting out of trouble, currently in trouble, or about to meet trouble around the next corner. That's just life. But the greatest thing is that we do not have to face any of it alone. God promises us that He will never leave us nor forsake us. He is ever present. Let us think on the good things. Let us give our trouble to the one who knows all, sees all and can do all! Take them today and lay them at His feet. He does not fail! Have a great and wonderful day! Be Blessed!

Do It Anyway!!
Good Morning Christian Peeps! I found this on the internet and wanted to share. This goes along with the song that Martina McBride sings "Do It Anyway"! Today we need to determine that no matter what we face we are going to succeed anyway, we are going to love anyway, we are going to help others anyway..... Be Blessed!
People are often unreasonable, illogical and self-centered; Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives; Be kind anyway.
If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies; Succeed anyway.
If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you; Be honest and frank anyway.
What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight; Build anyway.
If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous; Be happy anyway.
he good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow; Do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough; Give the world the best you've got anyway.

We Can Create Our Own Space!
Good Morning Christian Peeps! There is a saying: "Please take responsibility for your space." We can create what the energy and space is like around us. We can include those who enhance our space and exclude those who diminish our space. It's so important that we understand and work really hard to create a great space for ourselves ever day. I'm sure we have noticed before that when we are having a good day, things tend to go our way, we attract good things all day.....but should it get started bad.....it just dives from there. That is the space that we create. We can either attract good things or bad things. And yes we can change that space and energy anytime we want, just by changing our minds and attitude. It's time to make a change! Be Blessed!

Quitting Is Not An Option!
Good Morning Christian Peeps! I Peter 1:8 Whom having not seen you love. How many times a day are we ask to have faith? We say we love God who we cannot see but we don't seem to be able to love our neighbor who lives near us or works near us..... We believe we will get up each morning but we don't know that for sure. We live our lives with lots of uncertainty and yet we continue on day after day. If the sun quit shining we would go on.... if the trees quit growing leaves we would continue on.... When loved ones die we continue on..... Why then do we let situations in our lives cause us to want to quit. Although we may not recognize it we do have what it takes to keep going. Quitting should never be an option regardless of the expected outcome. With God all things are possible! Be blessed!

Don't Forget The Blessings!
Good Morning Christian Peeps! Let us not be quick to forget the blessings that are bestowed on us everyday. The Israelites murmured and complained even after all that God had brought them through. Even after He fed them day after day. Sometimes it's easy to forget the goodness and blessings of God. We need to recall today all the wonderful things that God gives us. Yes some things happen to us to cause us learn more and be better. Some things happen that we can't explain, but God has a plan in everything. Today we have beautiful sunshine that should be enough to praise Him. Today we have breath to breathe....that should be enough to praise Him. God is Good and greatly to be praised! Be Blessed!

Don't Quit!!
Good Morning Christian Peeps!
"When things go wrong as they sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging seems all up hill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest if you must, but don't you quit.
Life is queer with its twists and turns,
As every one of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about
When he might have won had he stuck it out;
Don't give up though the pace seems slow--
You may succeed with another blow,
Success is failure turned inside out--
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,
And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems so far;
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit--
It's when things seem worst that you must not quit."
~ Unknown
I felt this might be worth sending again!! Be blessed!

The Mind Of Christ!
Good Morning Christian Peeps! There is nothing better than being able to lift someone up when they are struggling. Having the mind of Christ literally prompts us when someone is in need. Being sensitive to the Holy Spirit, helps lead us to people who are hurting. Then we are able to be in our purpose....loving one another as Christ instructs us. God knows what we need when we need it. He can lead us to those who are in need if we let Him. Father, let us be sensitive to your will and your way today! Amen! Be Blessed!
“May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you the same attitude of mind toward each other that Christ Jesus had, so that with one mind and one voice you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.” - Romans 15:5-6

Never Cease To Praise!
Good Morning Christian Peeps! We are like the trees in a storm... although we are being tossed, we are praising God, although we are being swayed so low to the ground, still we praise our God. And when the stillness finally comes......we are still praising Him! Praise Him no matter what is going on today! Be Blessed!
A few minutes ago every tree was excited, bowing to the roaring storm, waving, swirling, tossing their branches in glorious enthusiasm like worship. But though to the outer ear these trees are now silent, their songs never cease.

Wait Upon The Lord!
Good Morning Christian Peeps! I was reminded this morning of the story of Jacob and Esau. Jacob was passionate about things! He was so intent on getting ahead in life that instead of waiting to see what blessing God might have had for him when the time was right; he decided to take what he wanted! He tricked Isaac his father into believing he was Esau in order to steal Esau's inheritance. Because Jacob did not wait for God's timing he had to suffer a few years. He was on the run from his Brother, estranged from his family.... Even though it is so hard for some of us(meaning me) to wait on God's timing; it really does benefit us to work on where we are and wait. He will not let us miss our opportunity to be used of him. He sees our hearts and just needs to work a few more things into us before we get our moment. Dear Lord, I pray that you would strengthen us in our waiting period. Give us not only the patience to see it through but the peace to accept where we are and what you are doing now! In Jesus name! Amen! Be Blessed!

Hold On!
Good Morning Christian Peeps! Let us hold onto the faith... keep the confidence and the patience so that when we have done the will of God we will receive his promises. He gives us so many promises but we must have patience that the Will of God will be carried out. We must not get in a hurry to see things take place for God has his own timing. Even when we can't see.....hold on! It's coming ! Be Blessed!
Hebrews 10:35-36
35 So do not throw away this confident trust in the Lord. Remember the great reward it brings you! 36 Patient endurance is what you need now, so that you will continue to do God’s will. Then you will receive all that he has promised.

Mother's Day
Good Morning Christian Peeps! I found this today and thought it appropriate for Mother's Day. Never ever miss a chance to tell them you love them or take them shopping or just spend time with them....for you never know when they will be gone. Be Blessed!
A mother is the truest friend we have, when trials, heavy and sudden, fall upon us; when adversity takes the place of prosperity; when friends who rejoice with us in our sunshine, desert us when troubles thicken around us, still will she cling to us, and endeavor by her kind precepts and counsels to dissipate the clouds of darkness, and cause peace to return to our hearts.
Washington Irving (1783-1859)

Jesus Is Our Hope!
Good Morning Christian Peeps! Hope, like the gleaming taper's light, Adorns and cheers our way; And still, as darker grows the night, Emits a brighter ray.
Oliver Goldsmith (1730 - 1774)
Live in Hope! Jesus is our Hope! Be Blessed!

There Is Need For Preparation!
Good Morning Christian Peeps! I will prepare and some day my chance will come. Abraham Lincoln We may not be sure of where we are headed but we can be sure that there is preparation involved. Nothing is ever accomplished without first preparing the way. There are drafts, drawings, and measurements before a building can be built. There are roads that have to be marked before a map can be made. There are things in our lives that have to be adjusted before we can be ready. We cannot hope to be a singer if we have never sang. We cannot hope to own a company if we do not understand business. Everything happens when we are prepared. Let us prepare today for what for is to come. Be Blessed!

We Can Overcome Our Mistakes!
Good Morning Christian Peeps! Some days it seems all we can do is make mistakes. We feel we can't do anything right. But the great news is we all feel that way...we all have those moments. We can't stop at our mistakes and let them define who we are. We must move forward because God gives us another day to do better. We can say to ourselves: "Every day, in every way, I'm getting better and better." That's really all we can ask of ourselves is that we continue to get better and learn. Be Blessed!
Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could; some blunders and absurdities have crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; you shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense.
-- Ralph Waldo Emerson

We Have All We Need......God Is There!
Good Morning Christian Peeps! I have mentioned this before, but this morning I feel it strongly for someone. Just like the Israelites, who had fresh manna every morning enough to sustain them each day, we have all we need. Everyday we are given enough breath, food, water, strength, health that we need to sustain us for this day. And just like the flowers and the birds, we only need to trust in that. We only need to recognize that what we need tomorrow we will have tomorrow. Today has already been taken care of. We have all we need today. With a spirit of Thankfulness and Gratefulness we great this day! God is wonderful... in the words of a song... "If you are feeling all alone, breath in and out and you will know....God is there!" Be Blessed!
